Hi List, More Pd Preferences Dialog improvements:
- color preset object names lined up vertically
- improved colorchooser on Windows
- better placement of audio and midi options
- multi-device checkbutton for simpler UI
- multi-device greyed out if hardware can't handle do it (thought I
already had this, but it was buggy)
- removed code that's no longer used
- added pd extended color scheme
- more consistent padding
- help patches open on all platforms
Just download pdprefs[Your-Platform-Name-Here] from: http://puredata.info/Members/jancsika
Bonus:
- includes [canvasinfo], [pdinfo], and [classinfo]. These are still a
work in progress, but you can send each a bang to see what attributes are there. (For [classinfo] give it the classname of an object as an arg.) Apropos of the thread about finding the directory of the pd executable, just do: [dir( | [pdinfo] | [print]
and you should give you an honest answer. :)
Some things that I didn't change:
- still an old prefs menu option on Windows and GNU/Linux in Vanilla
that I didn't remove
- didn't fix the labelframe fonts
- haven't hooked into routine to save gui prefs yet (but audio and midi
prefs should save on "Applying"
- haven't looked into the MIDI bug, but I am protecting against it
throwing a tcl error
- still have an "Apply Settings" button that doesn't follow OSX HIG
Advice needed: The gui prefs are rather static. How can I make it so a gui-plugin or gui object class can register one or more of its visual aspects to appear in the list so the user (or a preset) can change it globally?
Feedback much appreciated!
Finally, if you like the work please feel free to throw some rice and beans my way: https://jwilkes.nfshost.com/donations.php
